TRAVEL CHINA VISA-FREE with my TOP 3 tips for 2024 

And to Shanghai Daily as well, the newspaper and digital news platform he is part of. Also, the social media creators of various nationalities talking about their life in China from their own perspectives throughout the years should be credited the most for challenging narratives and stereotypes

He who pays the piper calls the tune.

His video about US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken’s humiliating China visit happens to be his most viral video.

@@thisiskevin1000 The CCP are now paying the ultimate price. I suspect their life expectancy can now be measured in months. Andy's source of income will be no more, and he'll have to get back into cabaret.

LOL French is too small, English is imperialist language. What so great?

French is a decaying language. I believe Spanish would be the third most popular language.

@@irritatedanglosaxon1705 I don't actually fully agree with the quote I used, because I believe that if someone truly wants information about the world, they should have English, French, Spanish, Chinese, Hindi and Arabic, potentially Portuguese and Russian as well. English is still a useful language to know for science, information, entertainment. Even with the negative things that the US does, I'm not going to downplay English's strength as a language. French is only too small if you use it to only watch videos about France, which is likely, because French speakers from Africa are somewhat disconnected from French speakers from France. Learning French in institutions is horribly biased towards France. The true value of French comes from being able to hear opinions from the Ivory Coast and the Congo, and I have changed who I watch on RU-vid to reflect this.

​@@kennedy6618 I completely agree with you about Spanish. I see more potential for Spanish than French. As for French being a decaying language, I have no idea, but I wouldn't be surprised. I wouldn't be surprised if African colloquial varieties diverge and become unintelligible from French, because I can already see it diverging a bit into Nouchi and Tolibangando.

English? Yes, if you want to be brainwashed

For 15 days

Cheers!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Only those with eyesight, most westerners never willing to see the truth.

@@mulanfa1292 根据Andy的见解，中文能力是个重要因素：外国人不懂中文，就读不懂中国。（可参考安柏然在文学城博客谈中文重要性的文章）

So glad you guys had a great time here in China, and thanks so much for your support of the channel! 😊😊

I think it will happen!

I’ve visited many, many cities & villages in China during the past 30 years and have eaten surmountable number of meals and various cuisine and I have never had “ox head” in my food !! I don’t know if such “ox head” is served. But if you don’t feel like having it, then DON’T order it !! Duh …. Don’t make it sound like all food comes with ox head. Do you know how expensive ox heads are ?

America spends millions and millions on anti China bullshit, if they spent that to make there own country better and by the way Trump not going to be silver bullet

@@ReportsOnChina The USA has a love-hate-love-hate-love-hate up and down relationship with China - depending often upon who happens to be in the Whitehouse and thus, lacks consistency, often seen as hypocritical. Maybe the U.S. Republican Democratic system needs to be changed, modified, adapted to modern times instead of being stuck in the past, 300 years ago?

​@Sayitlikeitis-jn6xe great response. That comment was really dumb. Like from someone who never leaves his own town. Getting fat on processed food.

Hope the weather treats you well, enjoy!

欢迎来中国🇨🇳❤

The weather has been exceptional, carry an umbrella and the world continues to move, i am in awe of the technologies that im already going to miss, don’t need a wallet just my phone with alipay and my passport, oh how our western governments are spinning terrible lies to us,

Thanks 👍

Great! Have you seen my video taking the China to Laos railway? 😊

@@ReportsOnChina yes of course I’ve seen it and just about all of them. I’m a Swiss citizen retired in Chiang Mai and I was so ashamed of the so call "peace summit " that just happened in my country, war summit is more appropriate. Keep on fighting for truth.

Please do!

My pleasure!

Lots to eat, lots to see. Welcome my friend! 🎉

I am Chinese brother 🤣

You must try May la tang. (I'm not sure of the spelling.) You will find it when you go to see the Pandas!

Nice one, have an awesome trip!

That's smart move.

Lijiang or Dali would be perfect.

哈哈，很有眼光哦

It can be difficult, because the map apps I use in China are all best used with Chinese language… not sure if they work at all with English. In terms of translation apps, I also use local ones… not sure if they work well just using English. 😂

Surely with your high Mandarin standards, you don't need a translation app! ​@@ReportsOnChina

I found google translate worked throughout Thailand and Vietnam. Apple translate supposedly works better in China. Meanwhile Alipay has a translation icon that I have not used. These are all pretty much free to the users.

China grants Americans 144 hours of visa-free stay.

I disagree. First of all, the program for visa free entry to China is only valid through November 2024 (for another 5 months). It’s not permanent. With the tension now between u.s. and China, China has to be extra cautious in who they let in into the country. China welcomes ALL legitimate visitors; especially the young people/students to learn and experience the history, culture and advancements of its country. People’s minds are so easily influenced by what its government or MSM are saying. And you are right that ‘seeing is believing’ and with what the visitors see and experience, they can form their own judgments. Getting a visa is not that big of a deal. Just like foreigners getting a visa to enter the u.s. All countries rely on tourism dollars to help their economy. I don’t see why China should “SUBSIDIZE “ anyone with their vacations. If people can’t afford to vacation in China or anywhere else in the world, then they should either save up for it or ask their own government for subsidy. It’s Absurd to ask China to subsidize the people of non-allied countries with their visits to China. It’s not China responsibility to ‘educate’ them. It’s like: if I wanted to eat at a 5 Star restaurant but I can’t afford it. I can either save my money for it or ask my parents for money. It’s foolish for me to ask the restaurant for a discount. (Unless it’s for charitable reasons).

That would require a lot more effort for Chinese government to avoid potential spy from America.

​​@@Sayitlikeitis-jn6xe I don't think the comment was meant to be offensive. It's just an idea to lure people in to see the truth and experience generosity. Not necessary, just possible.

@@Sayitlikeitis-jn6xe You must know of propaganda? America has "Voice of America", the UK has the BBC, Australia has similar non-profit broadcasters targeting Asia. They aim to attract some pro-American, pro-British, or pro-Australian audience. You cannot measure everything in terms of money. Propaganda is an expense that may, or may not bring immediate benefits, but like fishing, you may catch on, one day.

Glad you liked it!!

Nanning was the first Chinese city I visited.

@@ReportsOnChina It is where I am hoping to retire.

Went to Guilin by Nonstop Airasia flight from Kuala Lumpur recently, Imagine being the only International flight of the day from KWL Guilin Liangjiang International.

Can I use Chinese APP smoothly?

@@chjin1796 Yes, I have Wechat and Alipay so far and no issues. When in China T-Mobile uses their own VPN while connected to China Telecom

Yup you can use roaming, but many people think it’s too expensive. If it were me I’d just roam.

@@ReportsOnChina China SIM cards are quite reasonably priced in Malaysia. Need to plan how many days to stay.

Actually I don’t recommend that - just a copy is fine. ;)

@@ReportsOnChina hahaha yes sure.

​@@ReportsOnChinait's not really, especially when you take the train.

@@zhiminli4727You definitely need to take your passport on the high speed rail and checking in to hotels etc, but you don’t need to carry it around every day when you’re shopping, eating, checking out the sights. 😊

Oh but you do!

You link your foreign credit card to Alipay.

Of course!

恩施土家族苗族自治州

It’s in a Miao Autonomous Region.

The date hasn’t been released yet, but it shouldn’t be long. You can check the website of the Chinese embassy there.

@@ReportsOnChina ok thanks. We're looking forward to visiting China in the summer!

@@gonwan1too hot unless in northern part

Thanks for letting me know - this video is a style I haven’t done very often so still playing around with everything.

Do you want a second chapter? 😊

Yup, visa free - the length hasn’t been announced yet but I’m guessing 15 days. If you don’t want to use Alipay or WeChat, you can just use cash. PayPal won’t work here.

@@ReportsOnChina Thx for replying me back so soon. 15 days.... enough for most people for tourist. but... 15 days isnt enough for me~~~😂 So does that mean we just book the flight ticket without reporting in China visa office? Do we still have to show return ticket?

@@dann5515 I’m not sure of the details, but I imagine if the visa if for 15 days you would need a return ticket… but maybe you can just go to Hong Kong and come back into the mainland.

"Unfortunately, the main staples in the Chinese diet, like wheat and rice, contain gluten. Most Chinese people aren't familiar with the concept of 'gluten-free'. I had to look it up myself to understand. So, when you're traveling in China, you'll need to be extra careful when choosing your food.

When u actually arrive in Xinjiang, you will see no gEnOcIdE bullsh*t that western media tried so hard to cheat the whole world to believe in😂

good proposal

@SueC2558 Your stupidity is a deliberate cultivation of ignorance, arrogance & incompetencies. The world would be a peaceful & harmonious place, without the likes of you to contaminate it.

@ngheanchoo​ Another blockhead, empty vessel makes the most noise.

You can try and see if government will let you back your country LOL

Chinese welcomes everyone regardless where you from

Chinese people welcomes everyone regardless where you from

@@minzhang9112 I don't think those four Americans who were stabbed in Beishan Park in Jilin City would agree with you.

“虽然我很胖很胖 但我不是个美国人… 请不要给我吃麦当劳！！！！”

@@ReportsOnChina That's not how you say, "I'm not an American. Please don't stab me."

China is a bit much for you anyways, Michael.

@@ReportsOnChina Yes, eight years witnessing corruption and lack of freedom for the population was enough, Andy. Perhaps, you have no problem with that?

​@@michaelhinchliffe8358 Have you looked at your own country and see how much better it's doing compared with China? You can't handle China anyway.

@@michaelhinchliffe8358 LIAR !

@@Sayitlikeitis-jn6xe Sorry comrade, you know it’s true. You know how difficult it is in the CCP’s China. You’ve probably not been paid by your government employer for months!!!
